Account Creation

Create an Account

A TDS online account gives you access to your TDS-provided email*, Online Bill Pay, and TV Everywhere* with just one user name and password combination.

(*Email and TV Everywhere are included with select TDS services and are not applicable to everyone.)

If you have a TDS-provided email address (which ends with @tds.net) you already have an online account. And you’ll use that user name and password to log in to your account.

If you don’t have a TDS-provided email address, it’s easy to set up your TDS online account. Simply navigate to the Secure Login page of hellotds.com (get there by clicking My Account, and then choosing the Online Bill Pay, Manage Account or watch TVEverywhere.)
